Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "Stabilized with Amylene" mean?
A: Chloroform can slowly decompose in the presence of oxygen and light to form highly toxic phosgene gas. Amylene is added as a stabilizer to scavenge any phosgene that might form, making the product safer for storage and use.
Q: Is this the same as Deuterated Chloroform (CDCl₃) for NMR?
A: No. This is standard, non-deuterated Chloroform (CHCl₃). While it is a common solvent, for NMR spectroscopy you typically require Deuterated Chloroform (Chloroform-d) to avoid interference from the solvent's proton signal. We supply CDCl₃ separately.
Q: What are the primary safety precautions for Chloroform?
A: Always work in a certified chemical fume hood. Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation of vapors and any contact with skin or eyes. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area away from bases and reactive metals.
